34002 Salisbury
p.51
7mm/S7
Unconventional, imaginative and progressive in design, Bulleid's imposing Pacifics will be forever associated with the Southern Railway in postwar Britain. With their all-over auri-smoothed casing and Bulleid-Firth-Brown wheels, they present a challenge to the model maker, who has to empathize with their imposing stature and character. With masterly skill, Vic Burles has built this refined and detailed 'West Country'. Whether you are a lover of these engines or not, we think you cannot help but be inspired by the quality of Vic's craftsmanship and the sensitivity of his perception in producing this masterpiece.

With a perceptive eye on the prototype, Mike Baker has, using hairspray, salt and pots of paint, transformed an ex-works 16 ton mineral wagon by giving it the customary rusty appearance we remember. Whilst his weathering is remarkable, so too is the model which rolled straight out of its box on to his workbench.

I am pleased to welcome Peter Swift back to the pages of MRJ. As a fine modeller of the Southern Railway, he has taken a close look at the much admired Hornby Maunsell carriages, and shows us how to enhance an already impressive model.
